Episode 328: Inflammation Hunting- What Does It Mean?
"Inflammation hunting" is a term we use often here at TFN, but what does it actually mean?

Episode 327: How to Increase Your Value by Adding Functional Labs to Your Practice
Simply offering to run functional labs in your practice isn't what makes them valuable—it’s being able to use them to meet your clients' needs that does.

Episode 326: Has Functional Medicine Created More Problems Than Solutions?
Inflammatory title? Totally. In this think piece, Erin discusses the drawbacks, red flags and potential issues with certain functional medicine philosophies. She's getting honest with caveats to consider with functional lab testing — including how both the placebo and nocebo effects can play a role in a patient's healing process. This episode is not only geared for practitioners who are practicing functional medicine and analyzing lab tests, but also for the client on the receiving end.
Episode 325: How to Get Hired as a Functional Medicine Practitioner
In a recent Instagram poll, Erin saw that 70% of practitioners want to run their own practice, while 30% do not. This week, Erin speaks to the 30% of practitioners who are looking to work for another company and offers some pointers from her perspective as someone in a position to hire. While credentials matter, being able to apply what you’ve learned and having the skillset to help your clients is non-negotiable. Leave this episode with tangible steps to approach a practice you'd like to work for.

Episode 323: Be Your Own Health Expert & the Body-Belief Connection | Balanced Bites Podcast Interview
This episode is unlike any other we’ve ever released. Rather than Erin interviewing a guest… SHE is the one being interviewed! This interview on Liz Wolfe’s Balanced Bites Podcast was such a banger, we couldn’t resist sharing it with our audience.
Hear Erin talk about her experience with a serious autoimmune disease diagnosis (and remission), where functional medicine can miss the mark, how to self-source your healing, and how your body is always trying to keep you safe - even when things may seem to be going “wrong”.
Episode 322: #1 Way to Shift Your Energy NOW | Manifest Your Health Series
This week, Erin discusses how we can live in a hamster wheel of the same limited (usually negative) thoughts and beliefs day after day while wondering why nothing has changed. In order to live your biggest dreams (the ones you deserve, by the way), it’s important to start looking at and acknowledging the things that are working in your life. Erin leaves you with specific practices to help shift your energy into a healing frequency — immediately.

Episode 321: Neurobiology of Chronic Conditions | Manifest Your Health Series
Erin dives into the neurobiology behind chronic conditions like Long Covid, Epstein Barr virus, mold, and chemical sensitivities (so many more). The original infection can go away but the brain may still correlate those symptoms to the previous infection. Previously neutral symptoms like feeling tired or having a stomach ache can now communicate “I am still sick” to the mind and start a cascade of immune responses in the body. Learn different tools to calm down your nervous system so that you can begin to rewire your brain to look at the ways in which your body IS working.

Episode 320: Subconscious Mind’s Role in Healing Your Gut | Manifest Your Health Series
What if I told you the same programming that got you sick can also help you heal? In this episode, we dive into how our bodies and minds are always trying to keep us safe and how, at times, a belief that was once helpful may need to be updated. Learn how and why those with adverse childhood experiences (or ACEs) and trauma are more likely to experience chronic digestive, gut and health challenges and discover tangible resources to help shift from chronic stress into a rest and digest state. By getting out of the fear-based loop, you can change your biology (and use it to heal!)
